This week was really great! Really this area is really great. On Monday we went shopping with Eva (who is getting baptized this coming Saturday!) And as we were walking to a store, we see one of the members and she runs up to us and tells us that he daughter-in-law after about a year is ready to learn from the missionaries again! It was crazy! We were far away from the area, saw her, her daughter-in-law is ready to take the lessons, and it just worked out perfectly (must be divine design ;)). Attached below is a picture of her (Nohemi).
So I don't know if any of you have watched the Addiction Recovery Videos, but they are amazing! So Step 1 is Honesty. And for that video there is a man named David that talked about his addiction and having to be honest about all that he had done in the past. Well each transfer I watch those videos with my companions because it shows how real the Atonement is. So 2 nights ago Sister Hainsworth and Sister Thompson (the 2 sisters I trained who are now companions... crazy hugh?) text me and say that I need to call them right now. So I do and they tell me they had a lesson with one of the youth in the ward, Elijah, and it was amazing! Elijah had a family in from out of town whose dad had baptized him mom a long time ago. So since they were in town they asked to come to the lesson because the lesson was for one of Elijah's friends. They all had a great lesson and the man who baptized the youth's mom bore a great testimony of Jesus Christ and the son did as well, saying that his family wouldn't be together without the gospel. The friend of Elijah feels the Spirit and they just had a great lesson with the spirit so strong. Well the lesson ends and they get in the car so excited about how great it went. In the car Sister Hainsworth says, "Sister Thompson, I know something that you don't know that will make this lesson even better. Wait til we get home." So they open up her tablet, watch Step 1 of the Addiction Recovery videos and the man in the video, David, was the man at the lesson that baptized Elijah's mom who bore a powerful testimony of Jesus Christ!! It's that awesome! They got to meet him and have a powerful lesson from a man that has been truly changed by the Atonement! It just made my day knowing they met him and had a powerful lesson.
The healing power that comes from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is real! He can, if we let Him, change our nature. He can help us overcome our past. If we are honest with ourselves our burdens can be lifted.
